Found this really cool way to cool a PC, and may actually give it a go with an old PC i have, it seems like a real novel way to keep a PC cool, and it would look so damn cool!

very nice again - that would look great if there were fish in it lol
-
Very cool, makes me wish I had the money to spend on a new computer so that I could make one... lol...

The year: 2000
It's just become the new millenium.
Celeron 366's are still being used to overclock like crazy.
What happens when you Submerge it in Fluorinert and cool it with Liquid Nitrogen?!
Welcome, children to liquid cooling.

Err, sorry! I'm used to forums that parse hyperlinks for you. I'll try to remember.
-
I have wanted to try this for a while. Perhaps next fall I'll get around to it.
-
flourinert?
There is a liquid from 3M that isn't conductive that I have wanted to try this with. Perhaps this fall I'll do it.
its very expensive so unless you are willing to spend an extremely large amount of money (prob 1000 for whole comp) you shouldn't do it.
-
this is a cool little projecr and would be easy to cool the oil too. Just hav the fish tank pump run the oils trough cooled piping and back into the tank. nice find.

Yeah I know it's expensive. And from what I hear it evaporates pretty quick too so an air tight case is a must.

If you keep it below room temperature(say with LN2 Cooling like they did on octools) you will not lose any Fluorinert to evaporation.

wow that thing IS SO COOL im going to try with with my old comp. i have a nice comp and il post pics later ;)
-
a friend of mine also did that with his old computer
-
That Is Sick I must say. I am gonna Try That.
-
Dude, I wonder if you could do that with a laptop. :tup:
-
only if you made the HDD and CD DRive external, aswell as the screen, and a USB Keyboard and mouse.
-
lol that most likely one of the coolest computers ive seen yet and like how they even put the bubbles in now all they need is fish and its a electronic aquarium

Then a fish eats half of the GPU.
Oh Crap
-
its oil, no fish can be in there :nono: but it would cool.
-
My fish can. :P >_> <_<
-
That's pretty sweet, it'd be kool to partition it and have fish on one side and ur comp in the other
-
i just thought i would draw up what my idea was for doing somthing similar to that (until my mum said i couldmt submerge my computer - so i will try to get an old one to try it with)
its a computer case that allows you to submerge you PC in a coolant oil (would baby oil work)

its a very simple 5 minute pic but it gives the jist - i would need to make slots for DVD drive and HDD that were separated from the liquid but thats another time
-
omg that looks so cool
-
Thats really awsome but i dont think that i could do that to my computer. The idea of putting my computer anywhere near liquid of any kind makes me feel sick. :boxed: The computer is really cool but why is the fan there does it circulate water or somthing? The bubbles could help with that.
-
why go through all the trouble of that but that would be wiked awsome to get them little plastic fish in there lol
-
i think its freaking cool, but am i the only one who is wondering how their going to work on the thing if they have to?
